This notice changes the current RFA-RM-09-004 and provides clarification to the guide notice http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-RR-09-014.html restating the NRSA policy that permits one year training experiences for health-professional students pursuing a MD, DDS/DMD, DO, DNP, or PharmD who wish to postpone not augment their professional studies. NRSA support may not be used for clinical training that is part of residency training leading to clinical certification in a medical or dental specialty or subspecialty.
